WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey handles VAT Return Filing for the companies we form and for businesses that come to us later, so the process is routine for our tax team. VAT Return Filing is preparing and submitting quarterly or monthly VAT returns to the FTA, and it applies to all VAT-registered businesses. Thai food, hospitality and jewellery brands have a strong presence in the UAE market, which gives Thai entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their VAT Return Filing licence is issued. The most common businesses Thai nationals open through GoldenKey are in hospitality, wellness and spa, food and beverage and jewellery, although VAT Return Filing supports almost any activity.
Why VAT Return Filing
Day to day, keeping records for five years, issuing compliant invoices and filing on time are the ongoing obligations that follow VAT Return Filing. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax file for VAT Return Filing, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. Thai applicants benefit from the fact that VAT Return Filing already has many Thai shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Thailand documents and name formats instantly.

Why the UAE

As a rule, banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of vat return filing for Thai-owned companies predictable.

Frequently asked questions
Can GoldenKey act as my tax agent?
Yes. GoldenKey can prepare and submit filings on your behalf and handle FTA correspondence, so you have one point of contact for licence, visa and tax matters.
Does VAT Return Filing apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Put simply, filing starts from the first tax period after registration, even if the return is nil.
What happens if I miss the VAT Return Filing deadline?
Late registration attracts a fixed penalty, and late filings add further penalties. If you are already late, GoldenKey can register you and advise on penalty reconsideration where grounds exist.
Can a Thai citizen own 100% of a company in VAT Return Filing?
Yes, it can. Thai nationals can own the full share capital of a VAT Return Filing company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Thai nationals need a UAE visa before applying for VAT Return Filing?
Not in that case. You can apply for the licence from Thailand with scanned paperwork, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
